Jerry O'Connell Spoofs Tom Cruise!
Filed under: Comedy, Shorts, Celebrities and Controversy, Fandom, Trailers and Clips
After all of the shocking and sad news yesterday, there's nothing like a refreshing laugh, or 50. I've enjoyed many of the Funny or Die shorts that have popped up, but this one is pure gold. This time around, Jerry O'Connell spoofs Tom Cruise's creepy Scientology video -- you know, the one Patrick Walsh blogged about, where Tommy reveals that he, and other Scientologists, are like an EMT/Jaws of Life combo for terrible accidents. (Oh, how I'd love to hear WHY.)
After watching this clip, my appreciation for the former Slider has increased exponentially. I could type away and share some of the jokes Jerry includes in this clip, but it's better to just see it for yourself. Suffice to say, if there is ever a Tom Cruise biopic, I want O'Connell to star. Enjoy!

Okay, I'll admit that I was ready to hate this video within the first few seconds, but that was pretty hilarious.

I have a new found recognition of O'Connell's comedic talents. I thought it would've sucked... but I laughed out loud while sitting at my desk at work with my headphones.
My coworkers looked at me like I was crazy.

Or maybe they looked at you like you where a Scientologist... they seem to burst out in laughter at random times.

He could have randomly quoted the original video, and it would have been just as funny as this stuff, that's how all over the map the original was. In fact, I daresay this video came closer to making sense than Tom did. "PYT - Pretty Young Thing". I lol'd.

Tom Cruise was referring to "touch assists."

Good for Jerry. I always thought he was a clown but I gotta say that was funny. Talk about redeeming yourself in fell-swoop.

OMG! I laughed so hard my mascara slid down my face. Did Jerry put this out there on the web himself I wonder? Very brave man! O'Connell should win an award for his acting. Tom will only look more of a fool if he goes after Jerry. Hollywood should boot Tom for Jerry. Or maybe another Tom & Jerry cartoon? What a great spoof that would be.
